    Everything went well! The ambiance was perfect, the service was amazing and the drinks were tasty. We also thoroughly enjoyed the band. This was my 3rd time here and I will continue to tell others and return myself! This is definitely a best kept secret

    The whole atmosphere of the place changes once it's nighttime. During the day I can read a book and enjoy some coffee. At night it's a great place to watch live performances. Staff is super helpful and fun to talk with.

    A great variety of jazz every weekend! Use their ticketing system to grab a great seat, get there early and enjoy the food and spectacular bar choices. Highly highly recommended for the music fan in town or visiting.

    Stopped in here in an effort to keep checking out more coffee places throughout Cincinnati. It's definitely one I'll be coming back to! First off, the guy who helped my friend and I was so nice! Always love great service and drinks were delivered to the table. I got a chai tea latter per usual (really wished I got 16 oz over 12 oz because it was DELICIOUS) and my friend got the the Sleeping Bee (their special)- this is different from her usual but she enjoyed it and would get again! Also, as others have noted, if you're a Yelper and check in you get a free cookie! Can't wait to come back to redeem it! Honestly, we just came during the afternoon to read a bit and it was nice and quiet. Not much else to say, can't talk on their jazz portion but it seems like a sweet time and great thing to support local musicians.

    I'm so happy that I stumbled across this place looking for date night ideas on Eventbrite. The owners was quirky and cool. He introduced all of the staff and thanked them, which I really liked. He explained that his cafe / venue is a "listening venue." (AKA don't talk the whole dang time). I appreciated that. The only people that didn't abide walked in 30 minutes late, sat right in front of us, and talked the whole time. Everyone else was very respectful. We ordered a flatbread to split before dinner. The southwest chicken and bacon. I don't know how that little flat bread tasted so good! I ordered a chai tea that was superb and very pretty. My husband ordered a mixed drink that was good and then finished off with an Irish Coffee. We thorough enjoyed watching I Am a Walrus here. Fun, jazzy time.

    Tonight's band, Estrada do Sol, took me back to my years working in Brazil especially Pelotas in Rio Grande do Sul, way in the south of Brazil. The ambiance was perfect, the food delicious and the company was epic. Jazz numbers from as far back as the 40's with that definite Ipanema feel (yes I worked/lived there too!) this was my first time here - first of many many. I chose a table/seat by the stage so was very "upfront" and personal with the band's singer and she did not disappoint. This place is great for date night, solo self love night, older kids (like older teens) family music night and simple music appreciation night.

    $10 minimum drink purchase, alcoholic or not, per person for the performances. My first time here, I'm listening to my friend Dee Marie and the Essie band. She sings with another band that's Cincinnati, OH based. But this is the first time I've heard just her. She has a range, but more mid to low range, which I really like. I'm drinking one of their house mule drinks, The Monty. It tastes JUST like an orange creamsicle. DELICIOUS!

    Caffe Vivace is one of my very favorite places to go in Cincinnati. They have made a strong commitment to supporting live music and local musicians, which is both extremely rare and admirable. It is a clean, classy, and safe venue for listening to live jazz. As far as the menu is concerned, Caffe Vivace offers a variety of drink options from handcrafted lattes to cocktails. There are vegan food options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as non dairy milk options for drinks. I love what Caffe Vivace offers the Cincinnati community. If I could give a rating of six stars I would.

    As a vegan I was so happy to find that they offer two very yummy vegan items: the African peanut stew and a breakfast burrito.

We got there at 6:30pm to have dinner prior to them closing the kitchen when the music starts.

Met the owner Brian and he was personable and extremely hard working. This was our first time in this tavern and we would definitely go again. On this occasion we saw the Noah Wotherspoon Band and they were excellent. This place has 13 tables and ~20 bar seats. Super small venue so don't forget to either come early or make a reservation. The hubby had the chips and queso and did not care for it but the burger and fries he ordered were fine. I ordered 3 apps, onion rings, green tomatoes, and deep fried carrots. I liked the green tomatoes the least. The fried carrots will definitely be ordered again, the were perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Our friends both ordered patty melts and said they liked them. We all had cocktails and beer and they were fine. Definitely liked the vibe here and we will go back to see someone else soon.

It was cold outside so it was the perfect time to visit, since they have multiple fireplaces and it's nice and cozy inside. It was early afternoon and not busy, so the only employee we saw was the bar, but she kept everyone's drinks full and was very friendly. She told us to have a seat wherever we wanted but to come to the bar to order our drinks. We both got cocktails, an Old Fashioned and a Kentucky Mule and both were quite good. They don't have much food, just some pre-packaged chips and such but some of the chips were from China with pretty odd flavors, so that was kind of fun to give a try. The photos I have seen online don't do this place justice. It's cute and comfy and super clean. Even the women's bathroom had cute decor! As we were leaving, a band was setting up to play later that evening. I was pleasantly surprised to see they often have live music and on Fridays and Saturdays, they have a band from 5-7 and another from 8-10.
